A powerful House Republican-led committee subpoenaed Attorney General Pam Bondi Tuesday to answer questions about “the possible mismanagement” of the Justice Department’s probe into deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) wrote in a letter to Bondi that his panel was also interested in hearing about “the circumstances and subsequent investigations of Mr. Epstein’s death” as well as investigative materials gathered on his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Oversight panel voted in favor of the deposition earlier this month and has asked the AG to appear April 14.
“As Attorney General, you are directly responsible for overseeing the Department’s collection, review, and determinations regarding the release of files pursuant to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the Committee therefore believes that you possess valuable insight into these efforts,” Comer said.
